Randy Orton & Kevin Owens Segment 

Kevin Owens: Look, Randy, I know what you want to do, but hear me out first, okay? I have something important to tell you. Please, just listen. Randy, I’m here to tell you that, look, man, I was wrong, okay? Yeah, you heard me right. I was wrong. I was wrong for attacking you from behind. I was wrong for hitting you with a piledriver, you didn’t deserve that. Cody Rhodes deserved everything I did to him. Sami Zayn deserved everything I did to him. But you didn’t, okay? Look, man, you picked Cody’s side over me, and that made me angry, and I let that anger make me do something I regret. And if anyone, if anyone could relate to letting their anger make them do stupid things that they regret, it’s you. You talked about it, how in the past, your anger would make you do things you wished you hadn’t, okay? And I’m just like you, I’m just human. So, look, Randy, I mean it. I can forgive you for picking Cody’s side, if you can forgive me for what I did to you, and then we can put all of this to the past, where it belongs.

And speaking of leaving things in the past, you want to know why I pulled Carmelo out of the ring last week before you can punt him? Because I was trying to save you from yourself, to protect you from yourself. Because you do not want to go back to the Randy Orton who used to kick people in the head, nobody wants to see that. That’s not who you are anymore. You’ve changed; you have grown. You’ve changed for the better, so that needs to stay in the past, too. But you know, what we should do now is look to the future, and what’s in the future is WrestleMania. You know what I think? I can’t think of a better moment, at WrestleMania, than you and me becoming Tag Team Champions. Think about it, man, we were this close, just a few months ago. We should’ve become Tag Team Champions, but we let stuff get between us. Let’s forget about that, and at WrestleMania, you and me, we go for the tag titles. Will you shut your stupid faces? Don’t listen to these idiots. What do you say, man, come on?

Randy Orton: I’ll tell you what I say. What I should do, right now, Kev, is roll out of this ring, run down that isle, and beat your ass all over this arena. But what you said was intriguing. I never heard Kevin Owens admit that he was wrong, so let me think about it for a second. Eh, scratch that, you can take that half-hearted apology and shove it directly up your ass. You can tell yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night. He did this, he did that, he deserves this, he deserves that. The only thing that matters when it comes to who deserves what is, you deserve for me to kick you in the head so hard, that I get a pat on the back from Roberto Baggio. You used to be all about, Fight Owens Fight, now you’re all, Bitch Owens Bitch. You say you shouldn’t have dropped me on my head, you shouldn’t have given me that piledriver, you were saving me from myself. What’s to save? I’m glad that you dropped me on my head. You want to know why? Because now, I hear voices in my head, they council me, they understand. And you want to know what those voices say, Owens? They say, whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But not for you, because in Vegas, at WrestleMania, I am going to kick your freaking head, clean off your shoulders.

Charlotte Flair & Tiffany Stratton Interview

Joe Tessitore: We thank you both for your time. Tiff, I’ll start with you. Last week, we saw a fire in you that we haven’t seen before. What is your mindset right now as we’re just four weeks away from WrestleMania?

Tiffany Stratton: Obviously, after last week, I feel like things are

Charlotte Flair: Mmhmm, The Queen speaks first. Joe, I couldn’t agree more, Tiffany finally looked like a star last week. I mean, I was really having a hard time buying all this hype, but you know, Charlotte Flair always brings out the best in everyone.

Tiffany Stratton: You couldn’t see the hype, Charlotte, then why did you pick me for WrestleMania? Hi, I’m here.

Charlotte Flair: There she is, just like she was the first day, pick me, pick me. Tiffany, you want to know why I chose you, because I felt sorry for you. You came out there that day with a sob story about how you’re compared to me. No, you’re the only one delusional and disrespectful enough to think that you could compare yourself to me. Newsflash, everyone is compared to me. You’re not that special.

Tiffany Stratton: I feel pretty special, I got the title on my shoulders, not yours, and I earned this title.

Charlotte Flair: Via Cash In. Via Cash In. Week after week, delusional, like I said. Here’s the thing, at WrestleMania 41, it’s going to be the pinnacle for your career. For me, I’m going to shine my light on some undeserving girl, who because she has blonde hair, and can do a backflip, thinks that she can compare herself to me. No, sweetheart, you haven’t earned that.

Tiffany Stratton: Underserving? Delusional? I’m so sorry, Charlotte, but do you remember in the beginning of my career, you were one of my biggest supporters? Good luck, woman, you’re going to be a star. And I looked up to you, and then we stood in the ring, face to face, and I saw the real you. You couldn’t look me in the eyes, because you know that I’m the woman here to take your throne.

Charlotte Flair: I almost had a tear listening to you. Yes, Tiffany, I said you were a star, a star in the making. But what did you want me to do? Did you want me to walk down to that ring, give you a high five, slap you on the butt, give you a big hug, and say, yes, we can do this girl, raise your hand every time you win? No, I’m the only woman in the locker room that tells you the truth. I’m not here for that. I’m here for real competition. Any competitor would want that.

Tiffany Stratton: See, this is what you do, you find the hottest thing and throw water on it. It may have worked in the past, but it’s not going to work on me, Charlotte.

Charlotte Flair: No, you’re not even the hottest thing on SmackDown, nonetheless the entire company. What do I do? Tell me.

Tiffany Stratton: Like I said, you find the hottest thing, and you throw water on it.

Charlotte Flair: Here’s the thing, Tiffany, you’ve never been across from me, you’ve always been underneath me, on the ground, struggling to catch your breath.

Tiffany Stratton: I think the only one struggling here is you trying to keep up with the fans that don’t want you back.

Charlotte Flair: They’re either wooing or booing, you pick.

Tiffany Stratton: I have my entire career to beat your accolades.

Charlotte Flair: You’ll be lucky to have a job when you get to my age, Tiffany.

Tiffany Stratton: And this year, at WrestleMania, I’m going to cement what I already know. The WWE Universe doesn’t bow to you anymore, they run on Tiffy Time. See you at WrestleMania.

– Cathy Kelley had a backstage interview with Liv Morgan. Now knowing that Naomi was the person responsible for Jade Cargill’s attack, why does Liv still have an issue with Jade?

This is personal to Liv. At the same time, it could be personal to Jade, because Liv and Raquel beat her old tag team partner, Bianca BelAir, and her replacement, Naomi, to become the first ever, history making, record breaking, greatest Women’s Tag Team Champions of all-time.

Last month at the Rumble, CM Punk screwed me, so last week at The Garden, I screwed CM Punk. But that’s not it, because last month at the Rumble, Seth Rollins tried to kill me. It’s okay, because last week at The Garden, I tried to kill Seth Rollins. So, here’s the deal, The OTC came a long way, so I’m out here to take my time. I’m going to be out here for at least another 15-20 minutes, but if anybody wants to come out here, and confront their Tribal Chief, please let me know.

– Seth Rollins makes his way down to the ring.

You should’ve let me finish CM Punk when I had the chance. But I get it, I get it. It’s not about him. It’s never been about him. It’s about you and me, it’s always been about you and me. We came into this company. There is no you without me, there is no me without you, and we cannot co-exist in the same space at the same time.

Big Chief, Grimace, neither of you have ever beat me without the other one’s help, think about that, because you can’t. And Roman, I didn’t screw you, I know it’s been a while since you’ve been in one, but in the Royal Rumble, it’s every man for himself. Your Wiseman should’ve clued you in on that one. And you wouldn’t have even made it to the Royal Rumble, if I didn’t save your family’s ass at WarGames. Of which, by the way, I am owed a favor, Paul. No, no, you know what, not right now. Before we get to the favor, I just want to say, thank you for delivering your Tribal Chief on a silver platter for me tonight. I appreciate it.
